chissle look

[jason]

Good morning everone!

Does anyone know how to achieve those muscle cathe has on the front of her shoulder? I'm a mother of five boys and have manage to keep myself pretty lean and tone at 100 pounds, for some reason I cant seem to get that chissle look on the front of the shoulder. Thanks!

Lourdes~here is a rotation that I had bookmarked that I used a few years back and got great results. Many others posted they also received great results....

Here's is Marlene123's original "tank top arms" rotation:

Day #1: Pure Strength Chest, Back, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps
Day #2: CTX Leaner Legs
Day #3: CTX Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps plus cardio
Day #4: Cardio
Day #5: MIS
Day #6: Cardio
Day #7: Cardio or rest

As you can see, this routine works shoulders, biceps and triceps three times per week, chest and back twice and legs twice.

NOTE: Marlene also said that she does this rotation for 10 weeks, then switches to a S&H rotation for 3 weeks.


*This rotation will bring definition to your upper body, just remember to go as heavy as you can with weight, but using proper form and able to complete each rep/set.

My personal note for abbreviations:
MIS=Maximum Intensity Strength
CTX=Cross Training Express Series
S&H=Slow & Heavy Series

This is just a suggestion...if you decide to try it, GOOD LUCK!!!

For me, using lighter weights and doing more reps helped get my arms really toned. Also doing a lot of punches is really good for the arms, my arms aren't big but slim and really toned, if you are looking for big, then you would want to use heavier weights. I also found the cardio workouts that use light weights are good(like slim series from beach body) although I do have to say that compared to Cathe the workouts are boring but they do help get good results.

Cathe also posted a separate extra shoulder workout for another forum member awhile back, maybe someone can link you to it. I remember her saying she had great results with it.

Not Cathe here.

An article on abs that I read mentioned that six pack (i.e. chiseled) abs require two things, (1) good muscles, and (2) thin skin (i.e. minimal subcutaneous fat) over them. So it sounds like the other posters who recommend a combination of muscle building (to enlarge the muscle) work outs and cardio (to reveal the muscles by reducing fat) work outs are your ticket.

I posted a similiar question to Cathe awhile back and she gave me a great shoulder rotation to try. I'll see if I can find it and if I do I'll post a link to it.

Just realized that my above post gives the inaccurate impression that muscle building exercise builds muscle but does not burn fat also. This is not so. Muscle building exercise burns cals, both during the exercise itself and afterwards when the muscle fiber that was exercised is being rebuilt and enlarged. Cardio provides some extra calorie burning while also, in general terms, improving the body's ability to deliver oxygen..
